ANSWERED Anyone else get "program did not install correctly" every time you install orbx scenery?

I have UAC turned off in windows 7 and my fsx is installed to c\FSX. It gets annoying to have to install every thing twice. Program compatibility assistant is always popping up. I know you can turn this off but is there a reason Im seeing it repeatedly? Thanks for any opinions.

Its normal, no need to reinstall, just click 'Yes it did'

 

No idea why, not my area of expertise sorry

Same as Tim, normal every time, always enter "Yes it did". Done this now hundreds of times, never a problem.

Same here, I just click the option saying that it did correctly install. W7 does it for any program not only OrbX's. A pain...

Maybe it's this:

The logic used by PCA is to detect if a setup did not complete successfully. It monitors a program detected as setup by Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 and checks whether the program registers an entry in Add or Remove Programs (ARP). If no entries are created in ARP, PCA concludes that the installer did not complete successfully.

Thanks fellas, I will ignore from now on. It will speed up those annoying FSX reinstalls.

I usually installed twice and the second installed , you can see that window is making some adjustment and is also a lot quicker than the first installed.

To pile on, it happens to me about 1/3 of the time.  It's not an issue that I've noticed and should be able to be safely ignored, so long as you hit "This program installed correctly."
